Cost of holidays per year

I watched The Secret Life of the Holiday Resort tonight and they said the average cost of assuming an abroad holiday per year is over £1800 per person! This seems so high to me. Although I do think abroad holidays have definitely went up significantly recently.

How much do you usually spend on an abroad holiday? Does that include spending money?

Last holiday I went on I paid £1400 for me and 6 year old , so £700 each (1year old free) all inclusive for a week in Tenerife . Spent another £100 ish while there. Only time I have spent anywhere near £1800 was when I went to St Lucia .

Our annual holiday abroad costs us about 4/4K that's with spending money for 5 of us. It's so much because we have to go in August now as 2 eldest children are in school. That price is for 4 of us really as still don't pay for baby

The most I've ever paid for a holiday was our honeymoon. £2800 for both of us, all inclusive (including spa treatments and 5 a la carte restaurants) for two weeks. In August. It was a total luxury and once in a lifetime spend.

Only been on 3 holidays abroad, but on average I've spent about £700 pp, and wouldn't spend much more than that.

We paid about £1200 for our ferry tickets to Spain. We're not having to pay for accommodation but we will need to buy all food (except when we're invited to people's houses or to restaurants which will be quite often!) so hoping to keep costs down a bit while we're there. We'll mainly be going to the beach and cities, not doing anything very expensive. If we spent 1800 per person, our holiday would cost almost 12k.

All that is left for us to do is to keep on working as hard as we can and rebuild what is lost.
